Hello I suspect that xmlpatterns/dev is not included by default in the installation. Try installing it, I think the name is possibly libqt5xmlpatterns5-dev.

Hello, I am very impressed by your program.
I succeded in compiling it with ubuntu 22.04 but I had to make some trick to make the program find the libraries which are installed in /opt/qxmledit. Maybe in the next release you can manage it by default in make install script (I have no idea on how to do it).

It is an idea for one of the next releases.
Thank you.
